Slots versus memory

Plans here are sized by the hardware: each states its RAM and cores and reserves them for your server, and every plan allows up to 128 players. A team that grows does not buy seats; it moves up a plan only if the factory needs more memory or CPU.

That is the number to look for on any host. Satisfactory asks for 8 GB at minimum and suggests 16 GB for large saves or more than four players, and a factory that outgrows its memory or its CPU shows it as a falling tick rate long before anyone runs out of slots.

When Nitrado is the better choice

  • You already run other servers there and prefer its interface, which many players already know.

Moving a factory across

A Satisfactory save is a file. Keep a copy on your computer, connect to your Flux server in the in-game Server Manager, log in as admin and upload it, then load it. Your factory comes with it.
